Burnley will be without Ben Mee and Scott Arfield against Arsenal, Sean Dyche has confirmed.

The Clarets head to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon still harbouring hopes of finishing above Arsene Wenger's side in the table.

Just three points separate the two teams - although the Gunners still have a game in hand and a superior goal difference which makes them favourites to claim a top six finish.

Having overcome their away day blues that saw them win just once on the road last season, Burnley have already beaten Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and claimed draws against Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool as well as Manchester United on their travels this term.

Adding the north Londoners to this illustrious list will certainly be difficult as Wenger's side have been very impressive at home this season and Dyche's side will have to attempt to claim maximum points without the services of Mee and Arfield

"Ben Mee won't quite make it but he was on the grass, that’s a sign it’s easing. Scott Arfield won’t make it," the Clarets boss told reporters.

Furthermore, Dyche revealed that long-term absentees Steven Defour and Robbie Brady are 'making good progress', but won't make the trip to the capital.
